Benjamin homeschooled by his eccentric mother is a loner whose passion for writing leads him on an journey as his story first gets ripped off by the legendary fantasy novelist Ronald Chevalier and then is adapted into a disastrous movie by the small towns most prolific homespun filmmaker.

Review

Three other films spring to mind that Broncos reminds me of in the sense that they all bring similar elements absurdist story structure overthetop characteracting and an unapologetic bevy of immature toiletish sometimes abstract humor.

What I can't think of is two people other than me that actually enjoy this kind of film a lot. And I'm guessing you can't either. That's why I think these kinds of films do badly. It breaks down like this

10% people who even knew this was coming out 5% of those people saw it 2.5% of those people liked it 90% of everybody else doesn't care 100% of those people who didn't care would probably hate this worse than could possibly be imagined.

If you disagree and love this film see box office receipts for and then watch Land of the Lost Freddy Got Fingered and UHF. Not only are they three excellent movies in a similar vein but they all bombed beyond oblivion for the same reason.
